There seem to be surprisingly little good Mech(a) audiobooks around🤔. (Any recommendations apart from Battletech, Iron Widow and United States of Japan?) #SciFi

Is there a EU domain registrar with a modern domain/dns interface or do they all have circa 00s design with enterprisey vibes.

I like The Colbert Questionert. Am I (even) old(er) now?

When I hear a podcast ad I think: interesting, there must be a better, lesser known alternative.

Yes. Or Rust.

Finally able to announced what I've been doing professionally for the past couple years! I've been one of the lead programmers working on porting Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 to PS5! Been so excited about this and it's been difficult not being able to talk!!

Woaaaaaah, I just deleted the old project servers. No way back now… .

Added two more experimental feeds: one is for finding complementary accounts by using a point reflection of your embedding bsky.app/profile/did:...

#HamBer #Hamburg

The Basketball Arena is packed and the hashtag supposed to be #HamBer, but not a single post? What is wrong with you, Hamburg (and Berlin, which we are playing against)?!

There is a (doom) #metal band I just followed because they are from Hamburg, but apparently they are quite good😳: @ophis-doommetal.bsky.social (e.g. open.spotify.com/album/3Od2Z7...)

Renamed kontaktmaschine (koma) to divepool and rolled out the first (now embedding instead of keyword based) feed. If you can find it, you qualify as a beta tester😏… …ok, it is this one: bsky.app/profile/did:...

There is a debate about reintroducing mandatory military service in Germany. It was only canceled 15 years ago, and I still remember one of the main reasons being modern warfare having different requirements. Also: too expensive. Both reasons still valid today.

As a customer I wish to not think about whether I should use the "new version of [your] homepage".

I think about rocket frog often

Saw “Dan Brown” on Tetragrammaton, and thought “Yeah, good music, might be an interesting Interview”. It wasn’t the rapper, though. It was that author.

Somebody really needs to get rid of that ugly picture. You can draw anything. No login required. led.stefan.wtf #solodev #pixelart

Apparently Kyoto had snow AND WHY AM I NOT THERE

Bluesky wrepped but it’s muted.

The problem is, the prior images are looking far too professional.

Keep mixing up new public and new social.

Very useful tool to bulk unfollow accounts that either blocked you or do no longer exist. (You can sift through the list before submitting.)

Heating was broken in the southern parts of Hamburg, Germany due to "dust in the gas piping". Ours still is, for 5 days straight now. News papers are mentioning "100s" of affected households, but I heard of so many affected that 1000s are more likely. Luckily temperatures are still relatively mild.

Tag 4. Heute sollen die Ersatzteile geliefert werden. Irgendwie wurden die Gasleitungen verunreinigt und viele Gasthermen im Viertel sind beschädigt worden.

Might Podping be an actually useful blockchain application (shocking if true)?! Just started looking into it, but it seems to be a useful way to get podcast updates?! #podcast #blockchain github.com/Podcastindex...

luma is nice and all, but when smoke signal #acmhh

Bei uns funktionieren jetzt seit zwei Tagen die Heizungen nicht. www.hamburger-energienetze.de/krisenmodus #Hamburg

#ACMHH No. 3 coming up tonight at Factorial GmbH in Hamburg. First talk about headless Claude Code by @skorfmann.com starts at 18:30 Uhr. Be there or be square!

HÖR ON TOUR Shanghai #HoerBerlin has some great DJ sets. My favorites so far are Loverboy, Shu and Rednos. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmMn...

Because @bmann.ca was absolutely fascinated when we talked about arabic anime dubs over dinner, I give you the Dragon Ball Z theme in Arabic.

The #euroskylive name badges have a QR code that opens in @flashes.blue and links you to a starter pack of attendees. This is great! Going to steal this idea for #atmosphereconf https://bsky.app/profile/bmann.ca/post/3m5y6bh5epc25

Would anyone be interested in an ATProto embeddings API service? I calculate it would cost maybe $3/day to produce embeddings for every post using OpenAI's text-embedding-3-small. But this cost could be shared, so an "embeddings firehouse" could cost each customer just pennies a day.

How does one unfollow a user one got blocked by? (Asking for a friend.)

This is why all events need the Pac-Man rule - always leave a gap in your circle. What's fun is that the circles then grow until they're too big for everyone to follow a single conversation, then they sort of *bloop* like a dividing amoeba into two smaller Pac-Man circles and the cycle continues...

Final #EuroskyLive attendee match score tool update. I added a following indicator and the top 3 stems, click on percentages to get more info. divepool.social/c/eurosky/

Check out at noon? That’s nice for a change. #berlin

#EuroskyLive is over! Got some insight into what issues European policy makers are addressing and what problems they are facing. And there were a lot of awesome product presentations. (We) Europeans need to up our game! Let’s not wait for the money. Thank you @eurosky.social and everyone involved!

Explaining tangled in 2 easy steps: Step 1: "What's tangled? It's like GitHub, but on the ATmosphere" Step 2: "What's GitHub? Think OnlyFans for developers" Ktsschh boom.

“How divergent are people’s opinions in reality? And is society actually more divided today than it was at the time of the student protests or in the early 1990s?” www.suhrkamp.de/rights/book/... #EuroskyLive

hacked together a real quick “matching score” for all #EuroskyLive attendees I could discover divepool.social/c/eurosky/ .

My (second) favorite Boris www.youtube.com/live/iJE7DKE... @bmann.ca #EuroskyLive #HoerBerlin

Last time I did substantial #Postgres optimization was not even a year ago and I forgot EVERYTHING. Like “ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING” still increasing ID seq, which just bit me again.

Online behavioral advertising has made surveillance the business model of the internet. Privacy Badger fights for a better web by incentivizing companies to respect your privacy. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Those are rookie numbers!

I‘m in the @germnetwork.com beta now, but not sure whether I know anybody else using it. Feel free to germinate?! (Also, as a non native speaker, when does one use anybody vs. somebody? Anybody?)
